    Shaun King Retweeted Elizabeth Warren

    I’m away w/ my family until Friday but want to say that I’m very glad @ewarren is going to run for President. She’s a brilliant, but pragmatic intellectual with big ideas & dreams & She just hired a badass Black woman as her Chief of Staff. She will make the primaries better.https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1079734725323964417 …

    Every person in America should be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules, & take care of themselves & the people they love. That’s what I’m fighting for, & that’s why I’m launching an exploratory committee for president. I need you with me: http://elizabethwarren.com  pic.twitter.com/uXXtp94EvY

        I have a few concerns with @ewarren. But let me say this LOUDLY. If you have a political candidate that you DO NOT have concerns about then you are BLIND. Every single candidate, all of them, 100%, have said or done something problematic. If you say otherwise you’re lying.

        One thing I ask of my most progressive friends. You are my tribe. My family. All I ask is that you sincerely evaluate each Democratic candidate. Create a rubric or a set of values and policies and ACTUAL political action that you are looking for. Push, but give them some time.

        The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a good place to start if they ever fully empower it. Blacks are disproportionate recipient group when it comes to abuse and predatory practices from financial institutions.

        She traveled to Ohio this spring to campaign *against* Dennis Kucinich. I suspect her purpose in running is to siphon off enough Sanders votes to prevent a 1st-ballot nomination and throw the convention back to Superdelegates. Tell me I'm wrong.

        Yeah, but I would much prefer it if she took the gavel from McConnell in the senate. She is my senator, and I think she would be a better senate leader than a president.

        I don't trust her after the 2016 primaries... You know she could have endorsed Bernie but chose not to. If she would enough people could have chosen Bernie over Clinton and we'd be rid of Trump, but no. She just had to wait until it was all over...

        I love her intensity and caring spirit, but I don’t think she can win. That ethnicity issue is going to haunt her.

        You can tell she’ll be a strong candidate because the attacks about nonsense have already started. Her 23 and me results? Don’t care. Republicans will attack about anything and nothing so those attacks should be ignored.

        Thanks for explaining. I saw Ms Brazile speaking on the issue while promoting her book. I think the word "railroad" in your tweet confused me. I always associated that word with a person being set up for jail. Hopefully this time around every candidate has equal footing

        I agree. I'm very concerned that our side has groups that refuse to work well together. And I fall into that too. Obviously I'm very progressive and part of me cringes at the idea of having to vote for a Dem that does not support single payer, 15 minimum wage etc.
